About Taylor Gautreaux

I am a Staff Product Designer with a background in both design and technology, focused on creating human-centered experiences that are as functional as they are beautiful. Over the past 10 years, I’ve partnered with cross-functional teams (product managers, engineers, and stakeholders) to deliver end-to-end solutions that improve usability, accessibility, and business outcomes.Highlights of my work include- Driving a net new product design with research that uncovered core user pain points, clarified requirements, and reduced process time by months- Establishing and scaling a design system that brought consistency, clarity, and efficiency across multiple product lines- Conducting accessibility audits and reduced critical issues by 90%- Facilitating workshops that aligned leadership, product, and engineering on a shared vision, turning ambiguity into actionable design strategies.I specialize in understanding the problem, creating clarity from ambiguity, and generating results that matter. My approach blends design thinking with business strategy, ensuring solutions are intuitive, inclusive, and measurable. I’m deeply committed to accessibility, applying WCAG standards and inclusive research practices to ensure designs work for everyone.Beyond project work, I’ve mentored junior designers and guided teams through design reviews and discovery sessions to keep user needs at the center of decision-making.I’m excited to connect with teams building products that make a meaningful impact, particularly in data heavy enterprise solutions spanning from government, healthcare SASS, and speciality enterprise software.
